Damon Siefert

Damon Jorge Siefert made me laugh AND think - he was wicked smart and wicked funny, and he made all of us consider things more deeply. He also taught all of his coworkers that coding and software development was not only a challenge but could also be an interesting journey. My deepest regret is that I did not reach out to him more often after we stopped working for the same company! Many of his notes are part of of my rolling screensaver, and so he was often in my thoughts.

Damon was very dear to me. He had a way of challenging me to examine myself and what I thought that worked to help me become a better person, and more aware of the world around me. He was brilliant and precious and I miss him.
